hands-on.

This collection includes projects with hands-on processes that involved much learning and growth in the actual making, vs. just focusing on the final product (but the resulting products are still very cool!). 

​

Some of these projects are a short film from a Video Production class and creative Arduino prototypes from my capstone class, both of which emphasized documenting the entire project process and "learning by doing," which was very fun to explore as a creative person.
